Omg I love all of these!!!! Would love to hear more about Laguna & Ellone, Celes & the opera (!!!!!!), and Amanda/Duncan/Methos and Amanda & Gina plotting to steal some of Gina's jewelry back, because I don't go here, but that premise humors me!

(you're gonna get three replies, sorry not sorry!)

So! Laguna and Ellone. It occurred to me that 1. Laguna was on the space station when Squall and Co. arrive (I always sent Irvine with him) and 2. Ellone was on the space station at some point before Squall gets there, so this was their reunion. Lots of found family feels but sadly I've also kinda forgotten where I meant to go with this? It'll come back someday.

Until then, here's a snippet!

Tiny and delicate, she stood out among the rough and tumble technicians in their white coats and beige flight suits. In a white skirt and a sky blue sleeveless shirt, she was dressed more for a tea party than going to space. She toyed with the fridge of her green shawl as she looked around, eyes finally settling on Laguna. “Uncle Laguna?” she asked, and the same sweetness she’d had as a child was still there, even though she didn’t sound the same.

“Elle!” He ran past everyone and scooped her up into his arms, lifting her off her feet. He couldn’t toss her around like he did when she was a child, but that didn’t stop him from clinging to her. “Elle, you’re here! You’re really here!”

She threw her arms around him. Her laugh still sounded the same, and he knew this was his adopted daughter. No one else laughed like that. “It’s good to see you too, Uncle Laguna.”

Setting her down, Laguna didn’t let her go, leaning his forehead against hers. “I’m sorry,” the words got out before he could say anything else. “I’m sorry I wasn’t there. When I returned to Winhill and they told me Raine was gone and I couldn’t find you and-”

“Shhh,” Ellone murmured, resting a hand on his chest. “It’s done now. I know… I know it wasn’t your fault.”

“Doesn’t change the past,” Laguna said, closing his eyes. He should have been there for Raine. If he had been, maybe he could have saved her. At the very least, he wouldn’t have let her die alone.

“No,” she agreed, “it doesn’t. But we can make the future better. I’ve learned that now, I think.”

I definitely feel that with the "oh crap where was I going with this???" mentality of some WIPs. This is so sweet though! I think I vaguely remember us chatting about it? Would love to see what you so with it!

So this was my first attempt at my Press Start pinch hit this year. (It took me three tries until I got to the final fic, which is Into the Night.) Basically, I wanted Celes to return to the opera without the pretense of roping in a gambler so they could use their airship, and maybe she had to fill in for Maria again? I didn't get that far before I decided to try a different version of Celes singing, lol.

Here's a snippet! Still not sure I'll return to this one any time soon.

Even still, it wasn’t like Celes had particularly fond memories of the Opera House. The Impresario was a piece of work and though she had an appreciation for fine art, a prima donna she was not. To return as a guest, without another purpose in mind, seemed foreign to her.

Yet, Edgar asked her to come. “It’s a royal Figaro thing,” he’d said, waving a hand. “I can’t very well appear without a date. And you, Celes, would look stunning on my arm.”

She nudged him in the shoulder, slightly harder than necessary. “I am your advisor, Edgar. Not your date.”

“But of course!” Edgar gave her a bow, grinning up at her. “We’re going to be meeting dignitaries from Jidoor. I need you there to charm your way into their hearts.”

“Charm?”

Edgar shrugged. “Or to twist their arm into agreeing with me, whichever works best for us. They’ll never see you coming, Celes, my dear, which is the best part!” Standing to his full height, he winked at her. “Besides, when was the last time you went out for a night, hmm? Allow me to show you a good time.”

OMG I LOVE IT. Celes as Edgar's advisor and him trying to rope her in as a date *chef kiss* I swear these two always write themselves. Love it so much!

This was take one of my hlh_shortcuts assignment. Robert and Gina de Valicourt only appear in one episode of Highlander: The Series and good lord, I love them. They're immortals who married each other 300 years ago and nearly get divorced. Duncan tries to stop them by getting Methos involved and Methos does. not. give. a. shit. about either of them, it's great.

It's one of the lighthearted episodes in a series that gets real dark later on, so it's nice to have that breather in between. It's also guest starring Robert Daltrey as Fitz, even though they killed Fitz off at the end of season three, Daltrey just really liked playing him so they kept writing him into flashbacks.

The whole episode is on youtube and it's worth it for the end. Start at 44:30 and you'll understand why I love Gina so much.

Anyways. The fic involved a party at the de Valicourts, and Gina trying to convince Amanda to help her steal back some jewelry that somehow ended up in the hands of the French government. I probably need to research more to make it believable, but I was having fun writing it for a while.

Here's a snippet!

Humming as she took a sip, Gina tried to look nonchalant. Years of reading people told Amanda she wasn’t. “Duncan’s spoken so much about you over the years. A bit like meeting a legend, if you will.”

“I could get used to being called a legend.” Other than the Watchers, her exploits were more for her own thrill - and survival - than wanting to make the record books. But Amanda’s cheeks warmed all the same. It was nice to meet someone who didn’t turn up their nose at her chosen career, even if she wasn’t actively looking for work. “You’re a bit of a legend yourself, you know. Not everyone can stand the thought of being married to one of us, much less stay with them for three centuries.”

A coo slipped past Gina’s lips, and her cheeks flushed. “Robert and I are meant to be together,” she said. “We have our differences, everyone does, but even when I thought I could leave him, I’ve come to realize how lost I would be without him.” Her eyes flicked around the room, settling on where Robert and Duncan were chatting. Methos had a drink in hand and offered a comment, but the women were too far away to make out what was being said. “I was referring to a certain skill set of yours.”

“Ah.” Amanda reached over, plucking a carrot from the vegetable tray. A little slight of hand, and she’d tucked it away into her clutch. “Those skills?”

Gina beamed. “Precisely.”

OH. OOOOOOH. I AM HERE FOR THIS. GIMME.

I love the snippet with these two. Their dialogue and chemistry is amazing 😍
